    After reading the list, the originally crowded venue became empty. Just as the remaining people were secretly rejoicing, they heard gunshots coming one after another from outside. At this time, everyone's faces turned pale again, and everyone  They looked at each other with an expression of horror in their eyes.

    Trotsky¡¯s iron fist frightened everyone. He arrested people before arresting them and then shot them. Even the Supreme Soviet¡¯s purges within the party were not so terrifying.  At the very least, the so-called "counterrevolutionaries" who fell into Dzerzhinsky's hands had to go to court and undergo interrogation procedures. Trotsky simply refused to shoot them without any formalities.

    No one who can reach the level of division commander is a fool. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong.  If Trotsky was really following the orders of the Supreme Soviet to arrest the traitors, firstly, Dzerzhinsky¡¯s people should be present to cooperate; secondly, after catching the traitors, they would never be shot on the spot, but should be escorted  Moscow interrogation, such a hasty move would never have happened.

    But at this time, the frightened people still dared to criticize whether Trotsky's decision was legal. They believed that as soon as they raised objections, what awaited him would be the same fate as those who were dragged out.  Besides, the vast majority of the remaining people are from Trotsky's group. Even if there are a few people who are not Trotsky, they are centrists who favor and agree with Trotsky.

    "In view of the problem of traitors in the Eastward Front, I am now announcing an adjustment order for all units" On the stage, Trotsky took out a piece of paper expressionlessly and began to read out the appointment. Tukhachevsky, Tie  Musinge and other generals who originally stood aside took up important positions in the front army one by one. As for the remaining military-level positions, they were also given to several generals who originally belonged to Trotsky's faction. Next, other air forces were targeted.  Trotsky also made arrangements for the positions that came out. It can be seen that he had already made careful plans beforehand.

    "What do you think of these appointments, comrades?" After the reading, Trotsky put his hands on the table.  He leaned forward slightly and glanced at everyone present with his sharp eyes.  There was total silence in the venue. How could anyone dare to object when everyone was so frightened?

    ¡°Bah bang bang¡­.¡±

    After a few seconds of silence, a few sporadic applause suddenly sounded, then everyone was stunned and clapped their hands, and soon the applause gathered into one.  The atmosphere at the scene was pushed from the solemnity just now to the excitement and excitement.

    "Long live Comrade Trotsky!"

    "Long live Comrade Commander!"

    I don¡¯t know who shouted first. Before the applause stopped, cheers of long live echoed throughout the venue. At this time, Trotsky smiled and nodded to everyone with a smile.

    Soviet Red Army, Headquarters of the Eastward March Army.

    This is the core and most secret place of the front army. Except for Commander Trotsky and only a few people who can enter and exit freely, even the corps commanders and division commanders below cannot easily enter without orders.

    And now, the commander's office in the headquarters should be empty.  A poorly dressed man with a full beard and messy hair was sitting at Trotsky's desk eating and drinking. On the table were barbecues, bread, kielbasa and other delicacies, as well as several bottles of good wine.  .

    The man spread his hands, grabbed the food and kept stuffing it into his mouth. From time to time, he picked up the wine bottle on the side and took a few sips. He was gobbling it up and didn't even care about the crumbs on his mouth.  Give it a rub.

    After a big meal.  The rich food on the table was almost wiped out by him, and then he touched his belly with satisfaction and burped.  then.  He lit a cigarette, changed to a more comfortable position, put his feet on the desk and puffed out the smoke.

    A few minutes later, a sound of footsteps came closer and closer from outside. It seemed that the owner of the office, the front commander Trotsky, had returned.  Instead of putting his feet down from his desk, the man in the office narrowed his eyes and looked at the door calmly.

    soon.  The door opened and in came Trotsky.  Seeing the scene in the office, Trotsky, far from being angry, was as calm as usual. He walked straight to the desk, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the man sitting in his seat.

    "Is it done?" the man asked.  There was a smile on his lips.

    Trotsky looked slightly helpless at this time, sighed and nodded.

    "Tell me, what do you need me to do next?"

    "Tomorrow I will send someone to take you to the east. I hope you will promise what you promised me before. As for the rest, I won't trouble you. I can handle it myself."

    The man smiled and shook his head and said: "Trotsky, why are you doing this? Now that we have broken up, do you think you can still be with him?"Will Lin continue to work together?  For the sake of saving my life, I might as well abandon the dark side and join the Russian Empire. I can't guarantee anything else. The position of Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of War is still acceptable.  "

    "You don't need to talk about this issue anymore!" Trotsky suddenly became excited, stood up and waved his arms: "No matter what, I am a revolutionary, and it is absolutely impossible for me to betray the revolution! Although I have political opinions with Stalin  are different, but this is our internal problem! Lord Denikin, just give up on this idea!"

    Denikin shook his head regretfully and kindly advised: "Trotsky, you are a smart man, do you think that you can compete with Moscow by eliminating several political commissars of the Eastward Front Army and Stalin's commanders?  Yes? Yes, you do have great prestige in the Soviet Union and strong influence within the Red Army, but now you are just a commander of the front army, and it is impossible to oust Stalin and replace him. You must know that you have the highest authority  Stalin of Soviet power will quickly label you as a traitor as soon as he gets the news here. Even if you have the ability to control all the troops, do you think you have a chance to win in the face of the Soviet Central Committee's encirclement and suppression?"

    "This is my business! This is our party's own business!" Trotsky roared angrily, but he soon calmed down and apologized to Denikin for his gaffe.

    "You don't understand you don't understand" Trotsky said, but his voice became smaller and smaller. Although he knew that Denikin's words were correct, the belief in his heart forced him to make such a decision.  .

    "Well, as an opponent, I respect your choice." Denikin stood up and extended his hand to Trotsky: "I will guarantee my promise! I also hope that we will not fail so quickly when facing Stalin.  , of course, if later I hope you will consider my suggestion carefully, this is advice from an enemy to his opponent."

    Trotsky smiled bitterly, shook hands with Denikin, and then Denikin straightened his somewhat tattered clothes and said with a smile: "Please help me make arrangements. I can't go back like this tomorrow. I need to take a shower and shave off my clothes."  Beard, yes! And my uniform!"

    "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

    "Okay! I hope we can meet again in the future!"

    Denikin nodded, then turned around and strode out the door.

    After Denikin left, Trotsky slumped down in his chair, holding his head in his hands in frustration and in great pain.  He made a decision in desperation. He knew the consequences of this decision in his heart, but for the ideals and beliefs in his heart, and of course the life safety of himself and his followers, he still made the decision.

    Early the next morning, after washing up, Denikin, who was dressed in Russian imperial uniform and in high spirits, was sent to the other side's position by several Red Army soldiers. When Denikin left, Trotsky did not come forward to see him off.  Not many people knew about this, and when Denikin crossed the battlefield and returned to the Russian Empire's defense lines, everyone in the Russian Empire was stunned by this surprise.

    "What! What did you say!" In the Kremlin in Moscow, Stalin's pipe fell to the ground. He stared at Dzerzhinsky in front of him with an incredulous look.

    "I'm very sorry, Comrade Stalin. I just received information that the traitor Trotsky launched a coup in the Eastward Front before my men arrived at their destination. All political commissars and military commanders and fighters loyal to you were killed.  Now Trotsky electrified the country as Chairman of the Provisional Supreme Council of Soviets, saying that you have deviated from the revolutionary ideas of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and become the most unstable factor within the revolution. He  As a staunch Bolshevik Party member, I have the obligation to help you get back from the wrong principles to the right direction, so"

    "That's enough!" Stalin was furious and snatched the telegram from Dzerzhinsky's hand. Looking at the telegram, his hands could not help but tremble slightly and his face turned purple.

    "Traitors! Shameless traitors! Destroy them! Destroy them completely!" He tore the telegram into pieces frantically. Stalin vented his anger like never before. Trotsky's rebellion made him feel something he had never experienced before.  The crisis, if this problem is not resolved as soon as possible, will not only bring subversive destruction to the Soviet government, but even Stalin will become a loser and be purged by his opponents.

    What worried Stalin even more was this. If Trotsky had defected to the Russian Empire, the situation would not have been so dangerous. On the contrary, Trotsky not only did not defect to the enemy, but also used Vladimir Ilyich.  Liyanov's successor claimed to be correcting his own line errors, which struck a vital blow to Stalin. You must know that Trotsky's prestige within the party and the military was very high. In recent years, Stalin had tried to consolidate his position.  Many necessary measures have been taken to enable a large number of veteran party members and military personnel toGenerals were pulled down or directly purged. These people and their friends, relatives and even subordinates were likely to defect to the past when Trotsky raised such slogans, which caused a huge change in the balance of power between the two sides.

    At this time, Stalin deeply regretted his decision to choose Trotsky as the commander of the Eastern Front. If he had known this, he should not have released him in the first place, and even gave him up without knowing it.  Dispose of it.

    Seeing that Stalin was a little confused, Dzerzhinsky lowered his head and looked like a dead mother. However, Stalin did not notice that under his lowered head, the corners of his mouth were slightly upward, as if he was secretly proud of something.  .  (To be continued)
